I could not resist these in the Urban Outfitters store! FINALLY Denim Sailor Pants!!

Short Clara, they look like they ride lower than one's waist. Is this right?

Yes, they are not quite waist-high, but they are higher than most jeans nowadays.

Last_Chael - That's some serious shopping! Did you buy all those parasols or just the one?!

Thanks! It's been bought over the last month or so, so that makes me feel a little better I just bought the ivory coloured one, not all! Though I might look at getting some more as they're just so pretty! But I wanted it to go with my Victorian outfit, which is blue plaid and maroon floral, with maroon trims. I tend to wear ivory gloves and shoes, so I thought an ivory parasol would be perfect! But the good thing is it also goes well with vintage outfits

I got some lovely properly high waisted sailor pants from Gap in the sale for £20 (thanks for the tip off lyburnum!). I got them in white and dyed them navy blue, so they have lovely contrasting white stitching and white buttons now. I can't find an online image but I'll photograph them later. Absolute bargain!

I realised that all the outfits I'm working on at the moment are brown, and yet I don't have a brown jacket to go with (only black, and it's FREEZING mountain winter here right now). I looked at making my own, but when you add the cost of the fabric plus the time, it worked out cheaper to buy this beauty ($30 AU!!!). I decided I'd much rather spend money on fabric for a bright pink, red, purple or blue jacket (yes, I have found fabric in all those colours - can't choose! The joys of working in a fabric store ) than a boring brown one

Where can I get one of those?!

 

[ShortClara]

OK, I have to step *away* from the pocketbook now. really. really.

Just had to have these...

I hope this is ok to post, but here is the seller. You might have to do a search through to see if he has any more listed though. He actually has quite a few nice vintagey pieces at pretty reasonable prices. Though he is based in Australia, so keep that in mind

I bought this amazing 50s dress! It was my first vintage dress ever.

I found this awesome camera in my grandma's house. It's from 1952, and my grandma never used it!

I love the dress, Miss.Monroe, and the Kodak is too cool.

I got this on ebay a while ago but it looks alot different on me than on a skinny dress form.

These glasses are so cute. My blurry photo doesn't do them justice. I almost didn't get them but they were only 6 bucks and the more I wear them, the more I love them.

I haven't found a way to wear the flower that doesn't look insane. I have a daisey also which is not as giant.

It looks like they only have 4 online now... I would say they run large as I got a 4 but usually wear a 6 on the bottom because of my fabulous wide hips

Back in my youth, we called these "Drive-In Movie Pants", especially if it was zippers instead of buttons...

Like, a hell of a lot better? I adore that dress.

My mom's glasses!

I don't think it's insane at all! I like it! I got an enormous red rose yesterday, now I am inspired.

And that dress is killing me, so sweet!
